About Guy URBINO

Why Guy URBINO chose Sainte-Anne

I often spent wonderful holidays in Sainte-Anne. Then, I got the idea of creating areas dedicated to vacation rental.

What makes this house unique

The best is the unique ambiance of the place: extreme relaxation, quiet and joy. During almost the whole year, the beach and its surroundings allow the locals, the regular visitors, and the holiday-makers to enjoy the beneficial effects of the sea, and of meeting other people.

Perfect Getaway

I was lucky enough to stay here for three nights not really knowing what to expect. The house is perfect if you wish to relax at the beach, browse shops during the day and enjoy the relaxed vibe of Sainte Anne. Many restaurants are closed Monday through Wednesday and there is not much nightlife in Sainte Anne, if you are looking for that scene stay in Gosier.

The hosts are lovely and were really great to work with us in English.

Wanna be near the beach? Stay here.

I actually requested to book this spot for my parents. They described it as super clean, spacious, and comfortable. It was the perfect home base to return to after whipping around various corners of Guadeloupe during their visit. It's ideal for visitors who just want to hit the beach everyday as well (La Caravelle is pretty much right there). The place has it's own parking for your rental car too! My parents had a wonderful time.

Villa Clara is a nearly brand new duplex-like complex (Two 2-Bedroom houses) about a 90 second walk to the beautiful Sainte Anne town beach (Plage) and even closer to an amazing bakery/boulangerie (1 euro baguettes/croissants all day long) and one of the best value restaurants I've ever been to - Le Lucullus (get the grilled whole fish or langouste, or the langouste pasta). Plenty of other restaurants/shops/markets within walking distance so no need to drive (we had a rental car to get to/fro airport and did a couple of excursions but could have easily hung out in Sainte Anne the whole time.) Each unit has a parking spot in front protected from the street by a electronically-controlled security gate.

Bathrooms are clean and nice (particularly the shower with multiple heads and good shower pressure; nice sink), the kitchen is well equipped, the living/dining area is spacious, and the back patio is nice to relax in. Many doors open up garage-like for amazing indoor/outdoor living. The two bedrooms were adequately sized (it was only two of us so we just slept in one room and dressed in the other) with comfortable beds. A few drawbacks-as stated in the description, there is only (very good) A/C in the bedrooms, so it can get stuffy in the separate room with the toilet as well as the living room (the ceiling fan works well in the dining area so the floor fan does the job in the living room, but it's still not as good as the bedroom if you're a typical American like me used to A/C). Linens included two beach towels-nice not to have to pack one or go buy one-though we did have to get some paper towels,, toilet paper, and hand soap (not unusual for vacation rentals, but just wanted to let you know). Representative of the owner was there to check us in and show us how everything worked, which was quite nice and someone came early to take keys to check us out for early morning flight (Tip-give them a check-out time 15 minutes before you actually need to leave).

Five stars! Best possible location and great house! We cannot wait to come back!

Adding an English language review to the other many five star French reviews. We stayed a week and a half here as a family of five- one of us is a toddler. The location is absolutely perfect- steps from the best beach for families, around the corner from an amazing boulangerie, two gelato shops, and a block from multiple markets with everything- including a Carrefour Express that was open Christmas Day. Parking in that area would be tough because it is by the most amazing beach on a small one-way street... but luckily the rental comes with a secure spot! We did not need the car in the area of the rental house, but used it to travel to Basse Terre, and other nearby attractions.The nearby beach has calm waters that are shallow for a long ways and perfect for kids. The bedrooms have air conditioning so they are cool for sleeping and the back patio was perfect with the kids. The windows have screens to keep out the mosquitoes. The hosts were delightful- we had everything we needed, including plenty of towels and beach towels, a high chair and pack and play for our toddler, and speedy, reliable wifi. The owners are sweet and provided everything we needed- they even worked with us in English, because my French is pretty terrible :) Do not hesitate to book this place as an English speaker- I even left you two American paperback books.
